In a stunning, lightning-fast fall from grace, California lawmakers voted on Thursday to officially strip the name of disgraced labor icon César Chávez from the state’s calendar. The move comes just one week after a bombshell investigation unearthed indefensible allegations that the United Farm Workers co-founder was a serial sexual predator. Assembly Bill 2156 immediately, officially re-brands the March 31 holiday from Cesar Chavez Day to just “Farmworkers Day” just in time for next week’s celebration.
